ABOUT THE WORK

Miguel Gutierrez and Jaime Fennelly (aka Mind Over Mirrors) met in the pine forests of the American South in summer of 2001. Taking refuge in the top story of a run down Bushwick, Brooklyn warehouse that Fall, they sonically and viscerally hammered away for the next four years at the mountains of detritus that had been left there before them, sculpting their own assemblage of self-sabotage actions up and down the Eastern seaboard and Europe. Eight years gone, reconfigured with their collective shovel dug deep, they are Storing the Winter. Storing the Winter has been performed at Issue Project Room, NYC (2012), American Realness, NYC (2013), TAP Theater, Poitiers, FR (2013), Centre Pompidou, Paris, FR (2014), Charlotte Street Foundation at La Esquina, Kansas City, MO (2014)

PRESS

“Storing the Winter,” …, proved to be my best discovery of the festival.” – Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times

"What makes Fennelly’s work rise above homage is his use of Indian pedal harmonium, which cuts through his web of tape delays and synths and gives “Storing the Winter” a singular timbre." - Pitchfork

“Returning to pure dance again, Gutierrez becomes more bound and internal. An evolution, a rite of passage. Storing the Winter works in the realm of the energetic and kinetic.”-Julie Potter, Culturebytes.org

“The sonic drapery that Mind Over Mirrors hangs is a perfect canvas for someone who uses their body to make visual art. It’s a wide-open vista on which a dancer can paint all kinds of colors… the pair want to explore “the all-consuming corporeality of sound,” which is nearly a perfect phrase for the effect Mind Over Mirrors’ music has on me.” – Marc Masters, Culturebot.org
